Rather than posting another thread on this issue I will post here as well. Having the same issue that most are in this forum, that being getting an error that says "connection has timed out". I troubleshooted by restarting the program and retrying as well as trying the application in both steam and the independent game client with no success. Game client says the servers are up so not sure. Here's hoping to hear from the mods/devs soon on an update of the situation.
